What is the relationship between founder county people and Japanese people?

What did Manchuria Pioneering Group do in founder county?

Since founder county laid a monument for the Japanese "Manchuria Pioneering Group", it is natural to ask further: What kind of history did the "Pioneering Group" leave in founder county?

According to the book History of Founder People's Revolutionary Struggle published by founder county Old Area Construction Promotion Association in 2005, from 1939 to 1943, Japanese * * * sent six pioneering delegations to founder county, with a total of 129 1 household, with 4828 people.

What did these "pioneers" do in founder county? I was fortunate enough to read an old man's oral memory of this history in founder county in my book My Witness: Oral History of 200 People who Experienced the Anti-Japanese War in 2005.

The old man named Liu Anfa was born in 19 14. He witnessed the history of the Japanese "pioneering group" and worked for Japanese "immigrants".

1947 participated in * * *, participated in the liberation war and the suppression of bandits in Guangxi, 1953 returned to China due to illness.

The interview time is April 2005 1 1, and the interview place is in Li Ji Village, founder county, Heilongjiang.

The old man's oral memory is not long. The full text is recorded here, and the author's supplementary explanation is in brackets:

"Our village is an ancient village. Before the Japanese came, "Manchukuo" asked us to hand in all the land photos.

First, I said I received heavy points. Later, it was said that a salary was given to 100. It's good to earn 10 after that.

(Author's Note: Indirect plunder through Manchukuo is the main means for the "Pioneering Group" to seize China people's land)

In the eighth year of Kant (1940), the Japanese came.

A "Red Department" was built in Jixing Nantun, which is the regimental headquarters of their "Pioneer Group".

They are called "red department", so we call them "red department".

It is a straw house with a red brick foundation, surrounded by black locust trees.

The head of the "pioneering group" is there. He has a German shepherd. When he came out, he gave him a briefcase.

They occupied our land, even the mountains and forests were divided, and we were not allowed to go up the mountain and behead. Whoever dares to cut off our heads will be beaten if the intersection is blocked.

The Japanese are divided into classes. I still remember that Class One and Class Three were placed in Lishu Garden, Class Two in Qiaoxi, Class Four and Class Five in Henan, and Class Seven and Class Nine in East Banla. "

Most China families whose land was confiscated were moved to special "tribes".

The two of us didn't move, leaving the Japanese as households-Japanese people can't grow up in dry fields.

They grow oats and barley to feed the horses.

The land they planted is the land we have prepared. If there is a ridge, they will remove the seed along the ridge, then level it, and then hire someone to cut it when it grows.

Until the recovery, the Japanese didn't learn to grow dry land-they said "open up", but in fact even our fertile land couldn't be planted.

They eat imported rice instead of sorghum rice. They wear yellow clothes issued by the state, just like Japanese soldiers.

(Author's Note: What is the fate of the China people who were robbed of their land in founder county and driven into the "tribe"? Tao Qingshan, the old man who survived from the "tribe", left precious memories. The following are some excerpts of memories: "My family moved here from Yitong Township.

I was four years old that year.

We have eight tribes here, and our home is in the second tribe.

I can't remember the details. I only remember that the Japanese occupied our land. My family of five, my parents, two sisters and I, plus the old Liang family, came here in an old ox cart.

..... After coming, many people didn't want to stay, but the Japanese built a big wall, a watchtower and two doors around the "tribe", and some people were responsible for the entrance and exit. After dark, someone knocked on the bangzi, which was very strict.

..... In our place, there was a name called' Tiaozaogou'. This is our local dialect, which means death with a door.

To this day, I don't want to recall the life of the tribe. It's too bitter and too miserable. Every time I think about it, I feel uncomfortable for a few days.

How bitter is it? Five people in the whole family have a twist quilt to wear during the day and cover at night.

Of course it's tepid. At that time, it was very cold in winter, so I slept by baking.

During the day, you wear clothes on your body, which is the only thing for the whole family. Anyone who goes out to work must wear it-at that time, who can be shameless when living so hard! ..... I didn't put on my clothes until I recovered, which was 13.

When I was in the tribe, it was always bare.

The winter when my father died, my mother gave birth to a younger brother.

I only lived one night and then I died. I froze to death.

The wall is made of wooden poles and mud, and it is frosted inside and outside, with nothing to cover and no milk to eat. How can a newborn child stand it ...)

These Japanese train every morning, carrying wooden guns, making faces, screaming and practicing assassination.

Young children practice intensively.

(Author's Note: This fully proves that the main duty of the "Pioneer Group" is not economic colonization, but armed aggression, and the Pioneer Group is a paramilitary group.

)

My father was taken away by my beard when I was two years old. At that time, there were only my mother, my brother and me at home.

After losing the land, my brother and I worked nearby.

Later, the village chief Liu Kun told me not to work outside. I can't even earn three acres of crops a year, but I still leave one acre to farm at home.

Nine years after Kant, I started farming.

At that time, capable people had relations with the Japanese in the "pioneering group" and planted some good land.

Liu Kun helped me find a Japanese, like Ji Guo of Class Five. He rented him 30 acres of fertile land. After a year, he can collect seven or eight loads of corn and soybeans, and he can leave some food after paying the money, which is better than going out to carry the work.

Ten years after Kant, my brother was also working at home.

At that time, I was young and energetic, helping the Japanese and doing everything.

Cutting, shoveling, planting, harvesting, ploughing, planting, everything, shoveling and shoveling, cutting the land and cutting it in half.

(Author's Note: Most members of "Manchuria Pioneering Group" don't practice in person. Japanese writer Kenzo Shima traveled all over Japan's "Manchuria Development Zone". He said in 1939: "There is no place where Manchu people are not allowed to do farm work." )

Of course, life is still bitter.

The corn, brown rice, sorghum and millet seeds we eat-we can't eat rice and white flour, which was discovered as an "economic crime" by the Japanese.

Therefore, on holidays, if the family is better, get something to eat and steal it in the dark.

A man in our village went to a relative's house to eat some "dry gold" His red skin is about the size of a grain of rice.

I am not used to taking the train when I go home. I got carsick and threw up.

When the Japanese saw it, they ate their meal and arrested it at that time.

Later, I seemed to be dragged to work and never came home.

At that time, the Japanese were so strict that they couldn't even eat.

I was 18 years old when the "pioneering group" came.

No culture, no knowledge.

If they occupy our land, we will be their tenants, and we have to entrust people to engage in farming. At that time, I didn't understand why I suddenly became an inferiority complex.

I am very lucky.

It turns out that people live scattered, and there are two or three thatched houses outside the ditch. Because of the anti-Japanese meeting in the mountains, the Japanese moved to the "tribe" and the China people moved to the "four tribes" and "five tribes". There is no well, no water and no medicine in the ditch. That place is called jujube ditch, which almost killed people.

All the families near our village have moved away.

At that time, there were many beggars, every day.

They dare not go to the "pioneering group" to beg, but only ask us-no one dares to go to the "pioneering group" to beg, and even the livestock dare not go to the Japanese fields.

There is a Qu Qinggui in our village who is also a rich man. Several cows have been in the land of the "Pioneer Group".

If you find it, check it down, buckle the cow, arrest it, and fight it again and again. At that time, Liu Kun was the village head, saying that he was helping to find them back.

Many other people's pigs went to Japan, where they were killed and had to be beaten.

The Japanese also have better ones, such as the old monitor of Class Five. He doesn't care if we pull wood up the mountain. Later, he was fired, saying that he was not responsible.

There are also Japanese people, which are also quite pitiful.

There is a very powerful Japanese blacksmith in Nantun who can hang hands with foreign horses. He has a good relationship with my brother. He is almost 40 years old and suddenly wants him to be a soldier. He came to see his brother for a drink and cried.

In the year of rehabilitation, all the men in the "Pioneering Group" went to the army except for their disabilities.

(Author's Note: From the very beginning, the "Pioneering Group" was responsible for continuously providing troops for the Japanese army. This responsibility can be divided into two levels: 1. Incorporating those soldiers who should have returned to Japan after the expiration of their service into the "pioneering group" can save the fatigue of long-distance travel and facilitate rapid recruitment again; 2. A large number of "Manchu and Mongolian Pioneering Young Volunteers" recruited from Japan entered the "Pioneering Group" for one or two years, and all of them quickly entered the army.

)

My brother was also recruited as a diligent official to teach Japanese in Jiamusi.

I also repaired the airport for the Japanese for a year. I don't have enough to eat, I live in a shed, it snows, and I have to work barefoot.

The "two devils" swear when they open their mouths, and fight when they raise their hands.

Many people are exhausted.

Before and after the recovery, the Japanese saw that the general trend was not good and began to run away.

At that time, there were many Japanese in our country, and the "pioneers" in the north all went south through us and wanted to return to Japan.

Later, the Russian army came, and many Japanese, tens of thousands of people, were trapped here and could not leave.

The dead are gone, piece by piece. What is even more frightening is that people who can't walk get together, pile up explosives and grenades, and commit suicide collectively.

(Author's Note: In this regard, the book History of Founder People's Revolutionary Struggle published by founder county Old Area Construction Promotion Association in 2005 also recorded: "Several houses in the (Pioneer Group) regimental headquarters caught fire and people didn't save them.

In front of a house, two children ran out of the window, caught up with an adult from behind, stabbed the child to death with a bayonet, then committed suicide by caesarean section and fell beside the child.

The older children struggled to climb to the door, and the burning grass and trees on the eaves fell and buried the children.

In the fire, people throw clothes, furniture, bedding, blankets, rifles and bullets into the fire.

A boy shot and killed a dozen big horses tied to a tree at the head of the village. "This kind of record can also confirm that the Pioneering Group is not a simple Japanese civilian, but a paramilitary organization.

)

When the Japanese retreat, they usually kill children and women first.

Women hold their children in a circle, Japanese soldiers throw grenades into the circle from a distance, and the surviving children are stabbed to death by bayonets.

I know that once, those Japanese women even drowned their children in the water, more than 20 children! On the contrary, China adopted those poor Japanese children.

Our founders alone have more than 1000 people. Now, they have all returned to Japan. "
